Summary

This project aims to test how commercial a blockchain based traceability solution called PaperTale could be Focus International (an established UK fashion company), by attempting to produce some fully traceable clothing samples. PaperTale was chosen for its growing popularity in the industry, especially with suppliers (Warren, 2022). However, despite its popularity, it is expected Focus will face challenges if they want to offer this level of traceability commercially across their ranges. Therefore, during this project, these challenges will be identified, documented, and counteracted with suggestions for how PaperTale technology could be developed.
